New Age Artists

Chapter 302 Domineering, the strongest Lunar New Year film (13)

Shen Santong watched the race from beginning to end in the screening room.

Do your own thing without being disturbed.

The release of "Crazy Racing" is the most important thing at the moment, and it is also the starting point for some of his plans.

The plot is similar to the previous life, but with more texture.

In his previous life, the production cost of this play was 10 million, and he gave 15 million.

Ning Hao obviously didn't take any money, and his ethics are currently acceptable.

The quality is impeccable, and the more experienced movie fans will enjoy it more.

There are quite a few things that I am not satisfied with.

There are only four factions and two camps in Stone.

One guard, two gangs of thieves, and one to pick up girls.

Racing is more complicated.

There are six multi-line narratives, but the beginning is too scattered and confusing.

It only starts to get interesting after one-third of the story is over.

Only when all the story lines are concluded at the end can you say it is the best.

Therefore, it is not very friendly to ordinary audiences.

Not all viewers can accept multi-line narratives, and some will definitely curse.

There are no handsome men or beautiful women either.

Ning Hao’s three don’ts when casting.

It took him a month to select the racing team from nearly 10,000 cast lists.

We don’t want handsome men or beautiful women, but we want people with personality and characteristics.

We don't want a vase, we want someone with good acting skills or potential for acting.

Role actors need to be able to speak Minnan Mandarin.

Mainly focusing on weird things.

Then, the filming location was in the old town, which was rather run-down.

If Shen Santong intervened, the scene would definitely be newer and less shabby.

In any case, the racing drama is a rare masterpiece.

And as time goes by, the box office of this type of drama will get higher.

As the audience's film viewing volume increases, movies like Stone and Race will easily gross over a billion yuan.

In this era, it is a bit of a disadvantage.

This is the price that pioneers have to pay.

Shen Santong said to Ning Hao standing beside him: "The play is great, very great, well done, I believe the audience will be amazed."

Ning Hao breathed a sigh of relief after receiving Shen Santong's affirmation.

He put a lot of effort into the racing movie.

The original name was "Silver Driver", which means the second driver.

The protagonist's name is Geng Hao, the upright Ning Hao.

It implies that Ning Hao calls himself a second-rate director, but he wants to constantly surpass himself and become a first-rate director.

He and several editors revised the script while filming.

From beginning to end, hold your breath.

He wanted to tell everyone, including those who doubted him, how awesome he, Ning Hao, was.

After watching the film, Shen Santong held a meeting with the racing publicity and promotion department.

The three parties jointly distributed the film, bringing in China Film Group and Poly Bona Film Group.

The number of copies is the same as the second part, 800.

Most of the publicity for the race has been done, and three trailers have been released.

It is similar to Stone's promotional strategy, dispersing information through trailers.

Yu Dongdao: "We have negotiated with the cinemas for a 44% share, and this is their limit."

"Hero" started the road to profit sharing, "House of Flying Daggers" increased to 41%, "Happy Birthday" and "Crazy Stone" reached 42%, "Curse of the Golden Flower" increased to 43%, and "Crazy Racing" 44%.

Shen Santong nodded, quite satisfied.

Currently, multiple cinema brands with different financial backgrounds and industry backgrounds are still exploring.

The total box office is 20 to 30 billion. When it reaches tens or hundreds of billions in the future, each point involves hundreds of millions or millions of money, and it will be difficult to change it.

At the end of the meeting, Yu Dong asked, "Has the release date of Happy Birthday 2 been confirmed?"

Shen Santong nodded: "I will also be in the Lunar New Year period, the premiere will be on December 12th."

Yu Dong couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Feng Xiaogang's "Assembly" and Chen Kexin's "The Warlords" will also be released during the Lunar New Year holiday. We at Bona will also be involved in the distribution of "The Warlords"."

Shen Santong said as a matter of course: "So I will announce first that I will be on the 20th. It doesn't matter whether other films are released before, after, or at the same time as me."

Yu Dong's heart was filled with emotion. This was called domineering.

The thought that a real man should be like this flashed through my mind.

"Crazy Racing" was scheduled to be released on July 7th.

The release dates of "Flash Point", produced by his company, and "Secret" starring Zhou Jielun have been adjusted.

After the project of "Red Cliff" was approved, there has been no movie directed by Shen Santong himself released. Happy Birthday 2 will be the first one in two years and it will also be a sequel in film history.

It's like killing gods and killing Buddhas if they get in the way.

No one can stop it.

Feng Xiaogang was so angry when he learned that Happy Birthday 2 would be released on December 12th: "This year marks the 20th anniversary of my Lunar New Year movie. Without me, there would be no Lunar New Year movie. Sun Xiaogang is so rude."

Wang Zhongjun was also unhappy because Shen Santong was too disrespectful to him.

Weren't you playing during the summer vacation? Why did you come to our Chinese New Year holiday and take away the best piece?

Huayi then announced that "Assembly" will be released on December 12. He cursed with his mouth, but his body was very honest.

Unless you are really desperate, you'd better not watch movies like Shen Santong's.

"The Warlords" has announced that it will be released on December 12th.

Chen Kexin has already finished filming the movie, and the Ma Assassination Case was changed to The Warlords.

The investment in this play was 200 million yuan, which was a big difference from the 300 million yuan he expected.

It can’t be said that he is very dissatisfied with the play, but he does have many opinions.

Jet Li's salary for the film was only 10 million US dollars. He originally wanted to give 100 million and took 20 million, so he had to pay the market price.

The other props and scenery didn’t make much money either.

The key is that many things were not filmed.

The style he wanted was thick, dark, profound, cruel, and had some hints, but there was none of that.

The original idea was just to name it "The Warlords", which sounds weird.

Now it has really become Chen Kexin's "The Warlords" going north.

With the release dates of three dramas set one after another.

The audience was excited and called it the strongest Lunar New Year blockbuster.

There are various genres, including war films, ancient costume kung fu films, and modern comedies.

The show is equally exciting, the directors are all big names and there are many highlights.

There is a collision between Hong Kong directors and mainland directors.

There is also competition between the older generation of mainland Chinese actors Feng Xiaogang and the newer generation Shen Santong.

Full of suspense.

Can the king of the Lunar New Year box office, Little Steel Cannon, successfully defend his title?

Can Chen Kexin, the Dragon from the Other Side, prove that Hong Kong directors have the right to speak in commercial films?
Can Shen Santong, the king of commercial films, continue his box office miracle and set a new record in film history?

and also.

The box office appeal of mainland actors and Hong Kong superstars will also be put to a real fight during this Lunar New Year holiday.

The cast of "The Warlords" includes Jet Li, Liu Dehua, and Takeshi Kaneshiro, and "Assembly" and "Happy Birthday 2" are all from mainland China.

People inside and outside the industry have all sensed the uniqueness of this Lunar New Year period.

Together with the 08 Olympic Games, a cultural event, this super Lunar New Year period can perhaps be seen as the best cultural warm-up.

three days later.

Shen Santong received the preliminary investigation report and met Li Yu, who looked much more haggard, at home.

villa.

Soundproof room on the second floor.

Shen Santong brandished the whip and beat Li Yu hard: "Don't explain! There is no point in explaining!"

"Who are you? You are the head of my artist department. Li Bingbing was in contact with Wendi Deng without telling me."

"Sisters are close, I understand. I understand, but you have to leave when you have to."

Preliminary investigation results.

Li Bingbing had an in-depth contact with Wendi Deng at a brand event cocktail party a few months ago.

Li Yu gave advice and suggestions, but they had never met in person.

He didn't bother to care about Li Bingbing. People with different ideas cannot work together and he was free to come and go.

But once you leave, it’s not easy to come back.

Shen Santong didn't even have any emotion.

As for Li Yu, Shen Santong was quite angry.

Li Bingbing is just an artist after all, and making friends with Wendi Deng is a private act.

Rather than saying that Shen Santong dislikes Li Bingbing's behavior, he actually dislikes her attitude of looking up to Hollywood.

The nature of Li Cod is more serious and worse.

As a senior executive, he represents the Deep Sea Culture Branch.

Li Yu gritted his teeth and endured Shen Santong's anger, and admitted his mistake obediently: "I'm wrong, Xue'er, I admit my mistake!"

I felt relieved.

I don't see her in the company, but at least I'm willing to teach her a lesson in my private residence.

It was a little awkward with the camera on, but it wasn’t bad.

She understood Shen Santong's style of doing things.

Don't be fooled by his usual easy-going nature. When it comes to taking action, he is absolutely steady, accurate and ruthless.

Punishing her and scolding her means you haven't given up on her.

The worst outcome is to do nothing.

My sister takes it for granted.

It was believed that as Huayi emerged from the shadow of Wang Jinghua's defection, the competition between Shen Santong and Huayi began to increase.

By maintaining a balance between deep-sea culture and Chinese and barbarian cultures, we can seize the initiative.

In addition, with the connection with Wendi Deng, he has an additional way out abroad, which allows him to have the best of both worlds.

In fact, my sister doesn’t understand Shen Santong’s current power at all.

Shen Santong doesn't have to pay any price. As long as he wants, he can immediately beat his sister back to her original form.

Without doing too much, Huayi could regain control of his sister by announcing the falling out publicly.

Even the easy-going Wendi Deng would take a bite of the meat.

After two good years, I forgot what this circle was like before.
